Not necessarily. Power is fundamentally illusory. As we've seen before, violent action typically inspires more blowback than actual success; it's why the media magnifies populist violence and entirely ignores Leftist violence. This is what Uber specifically did in France: intentionally start riots and get their own drivers hurt with false flag attacks in order to garner political sympathy and allies.
In the end, this is a game of legitimacy. If the government has balkanized it's people, but can't get the balkanized part to justify it's destruction, then the balkanized part will continue to be a system in parallel, destabalizing the government, and undermining it's ability to function and project it's power with force: because there will be swathes of people unwilling to follow it.

Hence, why Civil Disobedience works.
